44: Chapter 44 Could this handsome young man have heard my story?

Jiang Lan truly couldn't figure it out.

However, it seemed Qian Luo's cultivation was already stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he guessed the bottle of "supreme grade qi gathering pill" he gave her was almost finished; it was time to send her some Medicinal Pill and equipment.

Jiang Lan extended his Divine Thought and entered the "immortal ring" Small World.

Inside the "void cauldron", all six "foundation establishment pill" had been strengthened into "supreme grade foundation establishment pill".

The success rate for advancing with a "Medium Grade foundation establishment pill" is 30%, and even the success rate for a "High Grade foundation establishment pill" is only 40%, but a "supreme grade foundation establishment pill" can guarantee a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, with a 100% success rate.

Yes! It's just that Heaven-Defying!

Even for a Spirit Transformation Realm Alchemy Old Monster, opening ten furnaces of "foundation establishment pill" in a row might not yield even one "supreme grade foundation establishment pill"!

Even the "Huanhuan Soul Severing Duo" member Hua Wudao could only obtain "High Grade foundation establishment pill". The reason he prepared three was because the advancement success rate for one "High Grade foundation establishment pill" is 40%; by preparing three, even with terrible luck, he would almost certainly be able to advance!

But it's hard to say.

In his past life's memories, some Prodigy from a major Sect had truly terrible luck; they ate over a dozen "High Grade foundation establishment pill" in a row and still couldn't step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, eventually developing drug resistance, leaving their cultivation stuck at the "Qi Refining 12th Stage Great Perfection" realm for the rest of their life.

Jiang Lan used two "pill bottle", filling one with a single pill and the other with five.

He happened to have a "shadowless sword" he had previously strengthened, which he could give to Qian Luo. Qian Luo was a Sword Cultivator, yet she still didn't have a decent sword.

The "shadowless sword" is a supreme grade weapon for the Qi Refining stage. Its characteristic: attack speed increased by 800%. As the saying goes, all martial arts in the world can only be broken by speed; it counts as a small supreme grade item, and Qian Luo can use it for now.

Jiang Lan spent another three sticks of incense worth of time strengthening two bottles of "supreme grade qi gathering pill" for Qian Luo. Although the medicinal effect of "supreme grade qi gathering pill" would decrease after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, Jiang Lan currently didn't have any "spirit gathering pill" used for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, so he could only let Qian Luo make do with the "supreme grade qi gathering pill", even if her cultivation speed would be slower.

After Jiang Lan leaves the "Ancient Desolate Secret Realm", he would go search for "spirit gathering pill", strengthen them into "supreme grade spirit gathering pill", and then give them to Qian Luo to eat.

After everything was ready, Jiang Lan gritted his teeth and, with a pained expression, "Spent 5888 Yuan to obtain the "Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission" status for half an hour, allowing voice transmission communication with the bound character, and the ability to gift Spirit Stone and Medicinal Pill to the bound character."

To be honest, 5888 Yuan was quite a lot for Jiang Lan, who was just an ordinary college student right now.

Pei Yingxue was on the podium, speaking eloquently and gesticulating with excitement while lecturing Qian Luo. When she turned around, she was instantly stunned!

'So handsome! These sixteen-pack abs! This wolf-dog waist! Damn it! How can there be such a handsome man in this world? Why is my face so hot? Why is my heart beating so fast? What do I do? I feel like I'm suffocating! What do I do?'

Jiang Lan was also stunned!

I spent 5888 Yuan, and you, the hell, where did you send me?

This woman is definitely not Qian Luo!

Developers, return my money!

Huh? Wait, that's not right. Why does this woman look so familiar?

Hiss~ Who was it again?

Right! It's that female demon from Shu Mountain, that Pei what's-her-name, Pei something Xue?

Jiang Lan's hair stood on end instantly, cold sweat broke out immediately, and he subconsciously used his hands to protect his vital parts!

"Young Master, you've finally come!" Qian Luo's coquettish voice reached his ears, and Jiang Lan looked in the direction of the sound.

Qian Luo's three thousand strands of dark hair were tied up with a silver hairpin, and she wore a moon-white cheongsam, fully revealing her curvaceous figure.

'This girl is really... too... beautiful.'

"Sister Pei, this is the Young Master I mentioned to you." Qian Luo jumped up, linked arms with Pei Yingxue, and introduced him with a sweet smile.

Jiang Lan looked at Pei Yingxue, then at the scrawled handwriting on the table that read "Thirty-Six Stratagems for Controlling a Husband!", and felt like the sky was collapsing!

The thing he was most worried about had happened!

This Shu Mountain female demon had already started poisoning the gentle, innocent, and kind-hearted Qian Luo, even starting to brainwash her with lectures!

"Hello... My name is... Pei Yingxue!"

"Finally remembered, yes, yes, yes! It's you! Pei Yingxue!"

'Could this handsome Young Master have heard my story? Am I that famous? Or does he have a crush on me? Is he secretly investigating me behind my back?'

"It was Sister Pei and Big Brother Wuming who saved me. Oh right, Young Master, you haven't introduced yourself yet." Qian Luo pursed her lips at Jiang Lan.

Is it very dangerous to let this Shu Mountain female demon know my name?

After she knows my name, will the knife her master took end up cutting me instead?

Jiang Lan was indeed terrified, his mind filled with wild thoughts.

Forget it, screw it. Regardless of anything else, she did save Qian Luo. Being able to rescue someone from the hands of Hua Wudao must have come at a significant cost.

"I am Jiang Lan, a Cultivator from out of town."

'Wow, is he even this handsome when introducing himself?' Pei Yingxue couldn't help but flip her hair, her face blushing, and she cast a flirtatious glance at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was completely numb!

'It's over, it's over. Why do I feel like my lifeblood is in danger!'

"Young Master, Senior Shu Mountain Xiaoyaozi wants to take me as an Inner Sect Disciple. Do you think that's okay?"

Shu Mountain Xiaoyaozi?

Hiss~ Why does that sound so familiar?

Oh~... Qian Luo is talking about the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal!

The Shu Mountain Sword Immortal's real name is Carefree Master. In his past life, during the battle where Shu Mountain was exterminated, Carefree Master fought two enemies alone. With Great Golden Core cultivation, he forcibly killed two Nascent Soul Old Monster from major Sects. Although he ultimately died and his Dao dissipated, he earned the name "Shu Mountain Sword Immortal" because of it!

Although Shu Mountain perished, the name of the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal lived on.

On the day "Fantasy Continent" launched, the old man on the game login screen was none other than the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal!

However, there is still at least two years until the extermination of Shu Mountain, so it is actually feasible to let Qian Luo temporarily apprentice under the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal.

Firstly, the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal's sword techniques are truly peerless; the legend of "One Sword Opens the Heaven's Gate" that was passed down makes every Sword Cultivator's blood boil whenever they hear it!

Qian Luo happens to be a Sword Cultivator, so she can learn sword techniques properly from the Sword Immortal.

Secondly, once he leaves the Secret Realm and the timing is right, he can take Qian Luo and escape from Shu Mountain, avoiding the battle where Shu Mountain is exterminated.

Jiang Lan is not an ungrateful person; it's just that he can't win!

Seven major Sects besieging them, over a dozen Nascent Soul Old Monster, bringing thirty-some Great Golden Core Cultivators—how can he block that? What can he block it with?

Even if Jiang Lan and Qian Luo stayed, it would just be suicide!

"Senior Xiaoyaozi's sword techniques are among the best in the Nine Sects and Eighteen Gates. If you can be taken in as an Inner Sect Disciple, it will be a huge Opportunity for you!"

"So, Young Master, you agree?"

"Yeah! I agree!" Jiang Lan covered his vital parts and nodded with a smile.

"Oh right, Qian Luo, I brought you a few things. This is a "foundation establishment pill", these are two bottles of "Qi Gathering pill", oh, right, here is also a "shadowless sword"."

As Jiang Lan said this, he took out three "pill bottle" and a sword, placing them on the table.

"Senior Martial Uncle Xiaoyao has already given a "foundation establishment pill" to Little Sister Qian Luo, and it's even a Medium Grade one! Your Low Grade one... Huh? What is this? This is a "supreme grade foundation establishment pill"? No way? This... how is this possible?"
